Filo Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 you guys have forgotten to mention that damon uses a pallet as a take off point,so his height is what ever the wall is minus the height of the pallet. damon and gillies suck at street,there not riding street, they are riding urban trials get i right. akrigg,macaskill lensosky etc are street riders,not pussies that ride urban trials and have every one think its street.

modifiedridah2k9 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Topics like this always bring out some retards What did I miss? That was a massive sidehop there, I've never seen somebody do something that high! But I'm not saying Damon is better or worse, but Damon's video's are mental. They are so enjoyable and the stuff he does is life threatning. It's always good to see what Damon does next! But gilles i've never seen a proper video of him, so I won't judge who is better. Can we stop arguing, i remember alot of you telling me a while back its not about who's video's better Nice sidehop, stop arguing Kieran Macaskill shitts on the hole world! No.He doesn't do proper trials , but I'm not gonna get everyone started on that agrument again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 i think of it in this way, damon would 5 ever section in elite that gilles cleans, yes damons a monster on street but i would like to think that gilles aint that far behind and would keep up on many things.... so there for in my eyes gilles is the clear winner..

ghostrider88 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Are you shure Ole? I think it was 154cm or something.. It was a slanted wall, with slanted takeoff. So he jumped high enough, but got kicked out from the wall. We got video of it. so why that vid isn´t uploaded?come on,we want to see that!!!I´ve seen pic of it,but that isn´t enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe O'Connor Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Who bloody cares about whos better!? They are both extremely talented and powerful riders! And who are we to argue? They are way better than a large majority of us. Also on that Gilles street video, 3.11mins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I never knew that the bigger someone goes the better they obviously are alot of people dont seem to have any idea what is needed from some one at top level UCI competitions, the amount of stamina, consistancy, precision and composure is unreal. It's amazing to think some people even in there own sport have such a stupid view on what makes a good rider, going big is not the only thing that matters, though if thats what people on here want to think, fine! i can't force someone to think differently Not taking anything away from Damon he goes insanely big, he obviously trains his body very hard to achieve this and congratulations to him on achieveing what he has, it goes without saying there are very few people in the world who can do what he does. Also if you take into account what TRA has said about the size of gillies relative to his sidehops just imagine what he could do if he bulked up?

robonatomz Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Damon wouldent last 2 mins in a comp. this was so high and smooth, looked like he did it with ease! Hanes Herman did it up to front from 1 pedal rotation away! also massive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellingtj Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm not very good at sidehopping. In amongst this chat about side hop videos it would nice if someone could post a slo mo video of how to sidehop big i.e. when and how much to pedal, how far to drop the front, how low to go on the bike (lookoing at TRA -very low) etc. I'm not so bothered about how high others can sidehop I'm more concerned about how high I can go.

PaRtZ Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 i f**king love this thread. I hope this goes down in history... On one side theres people having a serious argument about damon vs gilles. Not bumming either/or, just arguing. Then the bummers come in and start making a mess of the thread. Inbetween the bummers and the arguers, theres people either being retarded, or talking about shitting on other people. So now theres arguers, bummers, retards and shitters all blended together here. I know that sounds funny, but im genuinely loving the mixture here! I can't help but read this and be stuck between deciding if its a waste of time or an internet masterpiece... please don't stop.

I guess a lot of English riders tend to think jumping off of buildings is good trials riding! (and even better than a world champion's riding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
